Ambien Zombies
The popular sleep aide Ambien has some very interesting side effects, so much so that a new phrase has been coined – “Ambien Zombies.”
The issue seems to stem from a person sleep walking after taking the drug. To make matters worse the person who is sleep walking will wake up in the morning with zero recollection of what they did or said.
In some of the more severe cases individuals are jumping behind the wheel of cars, half awake and half asleep driving into houses and other drivers. Individuals have been taken to jail for DUI during these sleep driving episodes. There has also been a reported case of a lady shaving her legs almost all the way down to the bone. Her husband awoke to blood all over her body with the woman having no memory of shaving her leg. Midnight binging has also become a problem causing individuals to gain weight or eat food they typically wouldn’t. This is especially bad for diabetics as they begin eating sugary foods that their bodies cannot handle.
Even worse there are some who are committing what is known as “sleep suicide.” People are walking off their roofs or even shooting themselves while half asleep. Many of these people are earning over six figure incomes and show absolutely no suicidal tendencies!
Here is an actual account of an Ambien user: “I have been taking Ambien for some time and I would find food in my bed and no memory of eating anything in the night. My husband also tells me that if take the Ambien and do not go straight to bed and I am brushing my teeth or something and it hits me, I stay fixated on the task with no memory of this at all.”
People who take Ambien are urged to go directly to bed after taking the drug. There are warnings regarding Ambien in relation to a loss of inhibition. Sleep driving is also listed as a potential side effect, especially when combined with alcohol. The side effects of Ambien have become so well known that individuals are actually creating Youtube videos of their “antics” after taking the drug.
Below is a video from Fox 11 News related to many of the issues related to Ambien. Tiger Woods, Heath Ledger, and Jack Nicholson have all been linked to issues with Ambien.
